Dr. Michael A. Rhodes Sr. of Goodlettsville for the second time in four years has been reprimanded by the state for over-prescribing narcotics.

The Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners fined him $12,500 and put his medical license on probation for five years for the latest infractions. State investigators reviewed the records of 25 patients when he worked at Medical Necessities and determined that he prescribed "controlled substances in amounts and/or for durations not medically necessary, advisable or justified for a diagnosed condition."
